Chelsea FC news: Antonio Conte's team to be stronger than ever next season? Assessing could-be options in each position

It was well reported that Conte made a move for Celtic 'keeper Gordon in the winter window, with the 34-year-old mooted as the man wanted to replace the frustrated Asmir Begovic. Begovic, understandably, isn't content with life as a number two and is expected to again push for a move in the summer. There are rumours of a new deal set to be offered to Gordon; however, that might not put the Blues off from returning with an improved deal.

Antonio Conte will be doing all he can in the summer to avoid seeing his Chelsea team collapse.

The Blues are enjoying an outstanding campaign under the Italian manager and are in pole position to lift the Premier League title, but success this year by no means guarantees similar triumph next time around.

Chelsea's collapse as defending champions in the 2015/16 season shocked Europe and Conte is reportedly already preparing to avoid history repeating itself by building his wish list well in advance of the summer transfer window.

So, inevitably, we decided to look at who could be coming into the Blues team and what options this will therefore provide in each of the positions in their intimidating 3-4-3 formation.

Scroll through the gallery above to take a look at what could be Chelsea's options next summer, as a busy summer of activity is anticipated.
